                I am building ACI Multi-pod with IPN Setup in our local DC, we have existing ACI Multipod setup in another DC. Design setup remains same for both ACI Fabric. How i can speed up my ACI Build referring configuration of other ACI POD. Which tool i can use to automate my configuration, only IP schema is different between ACI POD rest reaming the same. 

Migration approach and suggestion is need to build new ACI setup

Hi Santosh,

You can do that with the help of REST API requests along with Python or Postman.

For a beginner it is much easy to start with Postman though. Here is the basic tutorial of ACI REST API with Postman -

You can also study from the offical API Config Guide -
